A member asked:
Is 1000mg of vit. c ok to help aid surgery wound healing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I advise taking 1000 mg at least 2x/day after surgery- 3-4x/day even better. Zinc (a good form like zinc picolinate, 30 mg) also helps wound healing. A healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables and protein will help too.
